Hello All,
This seems to be a great, informative forum. As a newbie to trucking, I have a case-specific question for the masses. I was wondering what was entailed to run a commercial private carrier. I train horses for a living and run a large trailer all over the country. Having worn out several duallies and a medium duty Pete, I've been considering purchasing a big truck and going commercial. I have my CDL permit, and plan on taking the test this fall. I was wondering what kind of taxes, insurance, DOT regulations, etc. would be required of a private carrier so that I can factor it into my decision. Any help or opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot.
